Chicken & Biscuits (Staged Reading)

CHICKEN & BISCUITS by Douglas Lyons
Directed
by Tyrus Sanders and Produced by Eleanore Tapscott

Can
rivaling sisters Baneatta and Beverly bury their father without killing each
other? This proves difficult when Beverly shows up to the chapel with her
“blessings” on display. Meanwhile, Baneatta’s son brings his neurotic Jewish
boyfriend along, knowing Baneatta disapproves, and Beverly’s nosy daughter
keeps asking questions no one wants to answer. Baneatta’s pastor husband tries
to mediate the family drama, but when a shocking family secret reveals itself
at the pulpit, the two sisters are faced with a truth that could either heal or
break them.The title refers to the late Bernard Jenkins’ favorite foods, which
we are told he could not cook to save his life but loved to eat.

Presented
as a staged reading. Time: 90 minutes without intermission.
